They seem to be working on uh, syncing all the sync features. There have been some updates recently.

My understanding is that it wasn’t so much his “choice in tools” it was privacy concerns surrounding that choice.

I think CWA is the one to watch. It’s progress has been slower but steady.

Crazy. It had a meteoric rise.

I guess CWA is the one to use now. In a way I’m glad the space will have only a single major player.

Damn 99% of the time someone says not to use an open source product it’s because of some obscure drama unrelated to the actual program.

But in this case the dev appears to not just be using AI code (not great but debatable) but using mostly AI code and using AI to reply to bug reports. Not something the average person wants to be running in a live environment.

I haven’t used Booklore but the excitement around it was nudging me there. I think I’ll stick with CWAs slower rollout.

That’s not a reason to consider CWA unsafe

My friend told me recently about TizenTube which is a youtube app with adblock/sponsorblock for Samsung TVs

Is there a list of sources this pulls from?

I’ve never woken up the next morning regretting greasy food

+1 for Bookstack. Very simple and easy to learn.

shelfmark. It even integrates directly with calibre web companion.

I believe it was supposed to monitor your jellyfin library and look for potential upgrades.

Any pointers where to begin?

Maybe things have improved but the last time I tried the Home Assistant er- assistant, it was garbage at anything other than the most basic commands given perfectly.

I loved this episode, it was really funny to hear “normal” people navigating getting an instance up and running, but they did without too much trouble. They also have 7K monthly active users since creating it, which is a great infusion of fresh blood to the fediverse.

How did you set them up with Plex?

I tried TubeArchivist a while back but as I recall it was much more about archiving entire channels and didn’t have great customization like “Only keep latest two episodes”. It might have changed since then.

Last time I looked into it something wasn’t working right about it, or maybe it was just more complicated than I wanted but maybe I’ll give it another go…

Can FreshRSS auto-download YouTube videos with SponsorBlock? That could be a game changer…

As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.

But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.
